December 5, 201312 yr Is this the firat time you are hosting the class at this location or is a semi-regular event there?
December 5, 201312 yr Author Is this the firat time you are hosting the class at this location or is a semi-regular event there? First time. It started with me and my dad both wanting the Utah permit but due to the Xmas season we can't make it out to any location as we are both working 70 hour weeks so we said hey maybe GFH can teach a mobile class and I can hook up a few forum members in the mean time. The location is great we own the garden center and the buildings in the parking lot for the past 35 years. If they had more classes that didn't require a range I would be all over hosting more events This signature exceeds the 15 character capacity
December 6, 201312 yr Add a range to the garden center. More classes. :-) LOL I agree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well we are just using out business location for me to organize the class. GFH has been very easy to deal with and many people can't make it and are interested in another class if someone wants to step up and organize one This signature exceeds the 15 character capacity
December 9, 201312 yr Author ok then. definitely 2. not sure on the 3rd, so let me know if you're getting close to max and i'll pressure the boy to make the correct choice. I don't think we will hit 30. We are at 15ish right now This signature exceeds the 15 character capacity

December 13, 201312 yr I just took this class Monday at Red Dot in Stanhope NJ. Charlie Padula was the instructor. Great guy, you should all have a great class if he is teaching it. One tip dont wear a hat if you have hair, you will be getting your picture taken to send in with your application. I saw my picture I look like Dennis the menis. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
December 16, 201312 yr Author today is the day everyone! if anyone needs to reach me pm me your number because the forums are still not letting me on
December 16, 201312 yr Yes anyone can open carry in pa with no permit but then your stick with everyone looking at the gun on your hip. I'm not sure what you mean by the 2nd part. You have to follow nj rules until you cross the boarder which means you can have your gun locked up with your mags or your mags pretty much anywhere as they are not a firearm. They just can't be in the gun untill you cross the border. Just be aware that if you open carry in PA and you don't have a CCW, from any state, you can't have it on your hip in a car. Without a CCW, you must transport the same as in NJ. You can't OC in PA unless you have a carry license from any state, or unless you walk here from jersey and walk everywhere you go. You need a carry permit from any state to have a handgun in a car, even unloaded in the trunk, unless you are going to and from a range, etc. So, No, you can't OC in PA without a license as a practical matter. Yes. However you want to do it as long as it's concealed. There is no requirement to conceal in PA under any circumstances except in a state park. Good to see so many people getting Utah. Some of the changes in reciprocity have really been screwed up the past few years. And not just talking about the PA AG. Reciprocity is still trending toward increasing recognition overall, but I have been bit more than once by a couple of the quirks that have popped up. Utah definitely seems to be the most bullet-proof. It sucks that in Jersey you probably need to get Florida as well to go to Florida, but thems the breaks I guess.

Thanks for adding the travel requirements in PA Ed, I forgot to include that. Yes, we all need FL if we want to carry there as they won't accept non-resident carry permit. Come on out tonight for the class if you can make it Ed.
December 16, 201312 yr Author It's going to be a great class. If anyone is on the fence come get it now before we can't anymore! This signature exceeds the 15 character capacity
December 17, 201312 yr Guys how was this? I couldn't get away tonight ugh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 17, 201312 yr OK, what is the best thing somebody learned? Or had reinforced? There is no way you can spend all that time there and learn nothing, unless you aren't doing your part. Even experienced experts should have come away with something.
December 17, 201312 yr don't do stupid shit with guns. guns aren't a magic talisman. you will go to jail VERY quickly if you fuck up even the slightest. UTAH has some seriously kick ass gun-friendly laws.
December 17, 201312 yr Author I learned there has only ever been one mass shooting in Utah in which the perp was put down buy 2 upstanding citizens. Great class and great instructor! Thanks again to everyone who made it out. Anyone who couldn't make it tonight I highly recommend Charlie and GFH, it's very easy to set up a class like this an he will do it anywhere. The countdown begins.... This signature exceeds the 15 character capacity
December 17, 201312 yr Thanks for putting this together and hosting the class. Charlie is a great instructor. It was great to meet so many members there too. CCW class reunion in March in PA? Meet at EFGA, I can guest a non- member.
December 18, 201312 yr Thanks for hosting this class, it was great! I learned that some states require you to load hollow points in your ccw pistol, otherwise you are breaking the law.
